Troy (2004)

Loosely based on Homer’s Iliad, when Orlando Bloom steals away Brendan Gleeson’s wife Diane Krueger during peace negotiations, Gleeson grabs his war-mongering brother Brian Cox to get her back. These actions ignite a war that brings Eric Bana and Brad Pitt into battle against each other. The cast is utterly stacked and the production values are exceptionally high, but it’s apparently mostly unfaithful to its source material. Brad Pitt’s disregard for the side he was recruited for is admirable, but I’ll never understand modern interpretations of the Trojan horse and it doesn’t make any more sense here.
